I have an idea that might work, but it might not work if you back up a lot. If I remember right, the Bush Hog mowers have a pin at the top of the caster shaft that you remove to move the spacers around when adjusting the height. You could try replacing this pin with a long "eye" bolt with a nut on both sides of the caster shaft and adjust the eye bolt so it sticks out a couple of inches. Then, put a bungy cord from the eye bolt to somewhere on the mower so the tension from the bungy cord will keep the caster pointed forward. You might even be able to put the eye bolt on the front casters so it faces back and the eye bolt on the rear casters so it faces forward and then run the bungy cord from the eye bolt on the front caster to the eye bolt on the rear caster for each side. This will only work if the holes in the caster shaft are drilled parallel to the wheel, which is how it is on my LandPride mower, but I’m not sure how it is on yours. I hope this made some sense!
